Quick entry of Tags
(closed account) says:
I have a ton of Smart Lists in the spirit of GTD that I use for contexts and projects. I use the new quicksilver plug in for task entry as well as just creating tasks on the site itself.
Is there a way to perform some type of a quickadd like in google calendar where I type "Pick up milk Tomorrow" and the due date is made as tomorrow? Or more specifically, I am looking for the ability to tag so I could say "Pick up the milk Tomorrow S:@errands @car" and it would tag it appropriately and make it due tomorrow?
I am pretty sure the answer to this is no, but it gets a little tedious creating the task on the go, then going back and reviewing later with the proper tags and due dates.
Thanks

Pardon what must seem repetitive, but when I see the same good ideas surfacing over and over, I am compelled to note the fact.
The idea of parsing the text in the data entry field, and in inbound emails, has been around since RTM was wet behind the ears, and I have watched the idea resurface over and over.

agreed. One of my top 3 missing features in this wonderful app (especially considering you do this already with email or twitter or th API)

i love SmartAdd! But please place some hint to this by making a "Did you know you can use SmartAdd to add a task?"
